Watching the couple declare their love were 84 of their closest friends and family.

Mikayla said their wedding guests were the people who had supported them most throughout the past 13 years, in particular the last half of 2017.

She said before the same-sex marriage survey, they were "naive" about the support she thought they had about being a same sex couple.

With Emillie working away with the army, Mikayla said the extra support from their friends in Gladstone was important for them both.

"They reassured us we weren't the horrible people who (same sex couples) were being made out to be," she said.

"We'd never had anything negative said about our family but then to hear and read all of those things that were said (by the no campaigners), it was a wake-up call."

Wedding photographer Nicole Roberts said Mikayla and Emillie were carefree and a "very loving" couple to work with. It was the owner of L'Amour Photography's first time photographing a same-sex wedding.

"Everyone should be given the right to marry, we shouldn't have had to vote on a poll to prove that," Ms Roberts said.
